Side molding removal? 2003 Tahoe

[pjtoy2]

I am looking for a cleaner look on my Tahoe and it has like a molding on the front and rear doors. Does anybody know how to remove it and if I do remove it will there be any wholes or anything like that behind it?

no holes. heat gun to heat up the adhesive, fishing line to slide it back there and separate molding from adhesive. after you get molding off purchase the 3M Adhesive Eraser Wheel. and that works magic and wash & wax after

What he said, I like the look of mine a lot more now that I have done this.

Do either of you have a pic of how it looks after?

search the forum for 'demolding', plenty before and afters.

Thanks to all of you... I'm hopefully buying the eraser wheel tonight and getting the molding off asap.

I don't think clay bar is going to remove the outline but it couldn't hurt and since you have it, do the whole truck. I think rubbing compound will get rid of it.
